Twenty-Nine Midnight Plan

Sickert walked around the room in exasperation. Akado sat on the sofa in silence. The wall clock in the room was ticking, making the silent night seem a little scary. Time passed along with this dull atmosphere, and little by little there was no sound.

About an hour earlier, the Wehrmacht had dispatched three companies of troops and secretly arrested the only three secretaries in the president's office.

The first secretary was still asleep on the bed when he was arrested. When the Wehrmacht rushed in, he didn't even have his pants on, but he was only wearing a pair of white underwear and was dragged into the truck by the soldiers of the Wehrmacht.

The second secretary drank and swayed in the bar. When he walked home humming a ditty, he found that his home had been surrounded by Wehrmacht troops. : "I'm the secretary to the president! I want to see Mr. President! You wait for me!"

The third secretary couldn't escape either. He slept with his lover. Unfortunately, the Wehrmacht found the mistress's house through his friend and took him and his mistress back to the Wehrmacht headquarters. Both of them were tied up— Soldiers of the Wehrmacht had only one pair of handcuffs, so in order not to discriminate, they had to use ropes.

As a result, two have come out. The third secretary took his lover to a friend's party that day. At least twenty men and women proved that they had an alibi that day. The innocent secretary was placed in a living room, and two Wehrmacht soldiers "take care".

The first secretary took turns playing mahjong with seven gamblers that day, and he had no time to commit the crime at all. He even explained how he was beaten by his wife because of losing money. Looking at his crying face, he even asked him He would confess truthfully if he stole anything when he was a child.

The second secretary is still in the trial of the interrogation section because he was drunk, but I heard that the second secretary is an alcoholic, because he was Ebert's nephew and was assigned to the office of the secretary to the president. He is a complete bum.

Sickert and Accardo are waiting for the result of the trial, but they almost know the answer. The only person who can enter the office of the secretary of the president in the middle of the night is the president himself.

"Ebert didn't need to betray us! We were just one of his vassals at that time! We were still relying on the money he allocated to survive. What's the benefit of him betraying the Wehrmacht?" Sickert looked at Akado in confusion. It was as if he was asking Akado, and he was also asking himself.

Akado stood up, looking a little embarrassed. As he walked out the door, he said, "I don't know why he betrayed Germany, so I'm going to ask myself. Your Excellency General, I'll go to the interrogation room to hear it. What did the alcoholic say, are you interested in going together?"

Sickert snorted, picked up his military cap, and walked out of the gate before Arcador. The two came to the interrogation room of the National Defense Forces Interrogation Section one after the other - this section is located in the headquarters and is used to interrogate important Prisoners, but not in the same building as the headquarters of the headquarters, separated by a guard barracks.

The two of them walked under the dim street lights with their guards. Not far away, the soldiers of the 103rd Regiment, who had just been transferred, were jumping off the truck and lining up. They were ordered to station the headquarters of the National Defense Forces to defend it in the event of a possible coup d'etat conflict. .

When Sickert pushed open the door of the interrogation room, an officer was throwing cold water on the face of the second secretary who was hanging up. It was November, and the weather was so cold that a bucket of ice-cold water splashed on the man's face. , and sure enough, he heard the man's loud cry.

Seeing Sickert and Arcador come in,

Both the soldier and the officer stood at attention and saluted. The man heard the voice and looked at the door with dazed eyes, and found Sickert and Akado who came in.

"General! Save me! General!" The man who was hung in the air shouted: "I'm the president's secretary Seaman! You've seen me!"

Seekert looked at Secretary Seaman's embarrassed appearance, covered with stains and cold water, and closed his eyes a little unbearably, but did not speak. Instead, Akado, who was on the side, took off the leather gloves on his hands and used a cold tone. He asked, "Mr. Seaman, I hope you still tell us what we want to know."

"But you didn't ask me anything!" Seaman said innocently.

"..." Akado was a little embarrassed, the momentum just now disappeared outside the Jiuzhongtian, he turned back: "You haven't started to ask?"

"The third interrogation room is different from the previous interrogation room. Usually, we call for a while before asking questions, sir!" An officer stepped forward and explained, "This way the prisoner can easily recall what he did."

"No need!" Akado looked at the alcoholic Seaman who was so frightened that he waved his hand and said, "Just ask."

The officer nodded, came to Seaman, took a look at the document, and asked, "You called the Coalition Arms Control Commission twice from your office! What's the content?"

"What, what?" Seaman stammered.

Even Accardo could hear the panic in Seaman's words, let alone a room of interrogation experts.

No nonsense, the two officers rushed forward and punched and kicked Seaman's waist. The screams immediately filled the whole room. Sickert seemed relieved and found a stool. Sit down, staring at his subordinates to torture Seaman.

"Please, ah... please! Ah... don't! Ah... don't fight... me! Ah... for God's sake! Ah... I say! I say!" Seaman just stood up In about 2 minutes, he vomited out the wine he drank at night and the blood from his stomach, and then he screamed and prepared to confess.

As soon as the officers and soldiers stopped, he said it all like pouring beans in a bamboo tube: "Don't... don't fight again! Ebert told me the other day that he was fed up with the coercion and arrogance of the Wehrmacht, and he planned to weaken the power of the Wehrmacht. , let the Wehrmacht give up part of the "Pluto Project"."

He took a breath and continued: "He doesn't want to completely stop the Hades plan, he just wants to control the development of the Wehrmacht under his control, so he feels that Arkado is a threat and is ready to get rid of Arkado."

He glanced at General Sickert and found that Sickert's face was very ugly, and defended: "Me and Ebert are not treasonous! We never thought about betraying the country! We just want to make the army a little more restrained, so as to save more Money to revive Germany! We are also righteous."

"Go to hell with your so-called justice! Your stupidity directly led to the crisis in the Ruhr Industrial Zone! Disgrace the Wehrmacht and bring disaster to the German people!" Arkado said angrily: "General Seekert, now you Are you still going to intercede for Ebert?"

"We can't take measures against the president just because of the testimony of a secretary. It's illegal," Sickert said helplessly.

"General Sickert, he is trying to shake the foundation of the Wehrmacht! He is trying to destroy Germany! We should take action to prevent the disaster from continuing!" Arkado said a little reluctantly: "We should arrest Ebert, and Sentence him to death."

"We are not the police! Colonel Arcador!" Sickert stared at Arcador and said angrily, "Neither are we judges!"

Akado nodded: "Yes! We are not! But we are the Wehrmacht!"

"The arrest of the president will cause riots, and we have no certainty to control the situation." Sickert frowned and said: "We need to think carefully and formulate countermeasures."

"We already have a countermeasure, don't we?" Akado raised his mouth and smiled: "As early as last year, I drew up an emergency plan for the National Defense Forces at a secret meeting, and we can fully implement it according to plan A."

"Then, arrest Ebert first, and don't hurt him." After hearing Arkado's words, Sickert's attitude was much better. After all, it was much better for the Wehrmacht to control the government than Ebert to control the Wehrmacht.

Akado nodded, turned and walked out of the interrogation room.

"Take your people and go with me!" Arkado saw Captain Hulk outside the door and ordered: "Let the soldiers load their bullets! First-level vigilance!"

In the house, several officers had hanged Secretary Seaman under Sickert's instruction, and one of the corpse's feet was still twitching.

"Are you really going to let President Ebert go?" Hulk asked as he followed Arcador forward, "He will retaliate if you let him go! It will be too late to deal with him until dawn!"

"Of course I also thought of the question you thought of! So he will definitely resist arrest! The National Defense Forces don't need a living president, what do you think?"

"General Sickert will bring you to court martial. Arcador. Shooting the president will be hanged!" Hulk said to Arcador through the car window: "Should we reconsider?"

"Yes, General Seeckert will not tolerate my self-assertion, but the new President will be very grateful to me, do you remember the last coup of General Walter von Lutwitz, I Those words you said, right?" Akado said with a smile.

"The new president? Who is the new president?" Hulk was a little confused, but he still remembered some of the problems that Arcardo told him about General Walter von Lutwitz's coup, such as the failure to elect a new president.

It seems that Arcardo is really different from the reckless General Lutwitz. He has not yet started the coup, and he has a complete set of plans as a follow-up guide.

Accardo said at the moment of driving: "Gal, drive! Captain Hulk, now we are going to kill our former president, Mr. Ebert, and I, after that, I will be going to meet the new president of Germany. , Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg."
